Tu-Tho is the lead of the French standardisation group for passenger information and operational data to manage mobility services. She is also a passionate advocate for IT solutions that are grounded in their responses to the needs of the ecosystem (from local authorities to private operators).

Leveraging her mobility data expertise and her past life as an expatriate in Southeast Asia, she actively contributes to implementing interoperability for all by building bridges, finding consensus, and creating convergence between different sectors of the mobility industry, their specifications and standards.

She holds a double master’s degree in Industrial Engineering and Business Development. Learning from over a decade spent as a serial entrepreneur, she is best described as a hands-on problem solver and someone who gets things done. After a recent pivot to public affairs, she has acquired the reputation of being a well-rounded professional.

She is passionate about making the world a better place to live by leaning on new technologies and community inclusion and strongly believes that the future must be written globally with all learning from each other.
